Family therapy services in 47304: Muncie, IN. Relationship and couples counseling.

Family counseling offers a powerful path to healing when one member is struggling—especially when that struggle involves an eating disorder. I frequently work with families, parents, and caregivers who feel overwhelmed, confused, or unsure how to help their child. We go beyond just “getting them to eat” by exploring the emotional roots of the disorder and helping both the child and parents feel heard. I support healthier communication, reduce misunderstandings, and guide families toward more trust and connection. Clients often leave sessions feeling more equipped, united, and hopeful—rebuilding a strong foundation of love, safety, and lasting support.

I have worked with many families for a variety of reasons - communication, discipline, blended families, new siblings, life transitions, or when a member of a family may have special needs. I try to divide my time making sure every family member is heard and can have their individual needs met and also discussing as a family what is best for them as a whole.

I use a combination of solution focused and strategic family therapy to identify the wants and needs of the family and help members to work towards agreed upon common goals. This approach helps members to define their roles in the family as well as establish boundaries. Family therapy will help to improve communication and allow for healthy conflict resolution, growth, and harmony.

As human beings, we have a natural need and desire to be connected to others. We also have an equally strong need to be an autonomous self. Learning to balance these seemingly oppositional forces can be quite a task, especially when you consider that the primary place we attempt to learn these skills is within the context of our family unit. If your family is experiencing some type of relational upheaval there is a good chance that the system has lost its balance and would benefit from a relational realignment. If your family system is feeling a little out of sorts, please give us a call. At Chrysalis Connections we specialize in helping families rebalance, reconnect and heal.
